king mentioned that he had a bad back at 2:00. i'm not sure he was supposed to talk about that, seeing as that wasn't really public at this time, as he tried to hide the back pain.
@westftballstar31 shawn was in so much pain i think many people recognized his back pain that night. wether it was supposed to be hidden or not nobody had done what shawn did give a hell of a classic match with his very bad back pain
its hard to watch this knowing how bad his back was. his movement towards the end of this match is so much slower and awkward, but he gave it 100%! and that backflip into the turn buckle was just plain sick.
I'm happy with how HBK has turned his life around... but damn could you imagine if he didn't mess his back up and we would have seen him during the attitude era... damn he was a beast!
today at year 2010 Tyson is here at wwe and Bret returned i was like oh my god and when there was a match dx vsTyson and chris jericho i was surprised when hbk tagged triple h and tyson tagged jeicho when horny came triple h said i've got back up jericho said i've got back up too and hbk said yeah triple h got three back up tyson horny and me. jericho said tyson????1!!!! then he turned to tyson and saw him take off his shirt and wearing a dx shirt. tyson made his super punch and hbk pinned him:)
You can see him trying to no sell the back injury the ENTIRE match. The corner spot where HBK throws his back upside down made me fucking criiiiinge knowing the condition he was in.
@kratosisdaman well, he did the best he could to put austin over but there was a point when i thought shawn was going to pass out do to pain. i feel kinda bad because not only did my favorite wrestler give him that injury, he also ended his career for now.
man thats fucking impressive, if you hear and look closely at 6:54 - 6:56, it looks like HBK could almost cry because of the back pain, and he still was giving a great show, thats a true entertainer if you ask me, actually both of them, hell of a match!!
@guLaNator I know right. I complained like a bitch when my hyperflexed my arm and worked with it. And this dude if fucking taking all these bumps with a fucked up back.
well, it's my belief that high profile title matches are "Referee Desecration" where the Ref will let a lot slide as oppose to a RAW title defense...so it's pretty much borderline No DQ...just my 2 cents worth =)
During the Attitude era, most main event matches on PPV's automatically had "NO DQ" rules applied to them for some reason... they just fell into transition of the main events back then and it was quite amazing because back then, you would expect every main event match to be out of control, just like this.
What a classic match this was. Everyone is talking about HBK's courage wrestling w/ the bad back, but lets not 4get SCSA had not too long come back from the neck injury he suffered from that botched Owen Hart piledriver @ Summerslam 97 which he would wrestle w/ for basicallt another 2 years (until Nov. 99). Both of these guys were nothing less than warriors.
That fuckin turnbuckle shot he took in the match aggrivated the injury.I think one of the main reasons he made it through the match was down to the fact he was drugged up to his eyes at the time.
HBK is not human! i had a trapped nerve and i was crying in bed for a week i couldn't sleep it was so bad. He has 2 COMPLETE SMASHED DISKS i have no idea how he is doing this to himself!!!
Neither do I... after he went home he tried to rehab the back but according to HBK he only went gave it half-effort and didnt have the surgery until wither late 98 or early 99. After the surgery he met the love of his life!!!
It seems like HBK's back is fine since he was walking normal during his entrance, wrestled normal until Austin throws him to the turnbuckle. I dont get it, he been tossed like that to the turnbuckle before many times before this match.
He was on pain killers (I dont he said how many) just to get to the ring... as the match progresses watch how HBK starts to winches in tremendous pain. And also how he struggles to make a move or a landing.
Yea just think how different it would have been if HBK was sober and clean and injury free kudos 2 HBK for giving WWE another 2 months with a broken back
I cringe during every spot because he had TWO blown discs at the time. He said that the pain in his legs was so extreme that every step felt like he was walking in quicksand.
You can see how real the pain is for HBK throughout the match but it's really clear at 7:39 when he has to squat down to grab Steve's legs because he can't bend over.
this match wasn't so good it could have been so much better but since his back was fucked up they didnt want to much action.. Stone Cold had a better match against Bret Hart the year before I just like the end when Mike Tyson punches Michaels..
HBK wasn't allowed by the doctors to compete but The Undertaker forced him/threatened him so he had to

HBK-pure entertainer who still loves to entertain us despite his back problems
Stone Cold Steve Austin=piece of crap who leaves WWE with a silly excuse.
if u see the cyber sunday voting, tat junk Austin won the votes and HBK received only 22%
Ppl just want to see austin once in a while and tats it.
Austin is just a showoff in my opinion.
